Browser automation to force mediapartners to index pages

Is it a bad idea?

[phaze]

I have a site with over 10,000 pages, and I've just stuck AdSense on all of them. Of course Mediapartners is going to have to visit every page before a targetted ad is shown to the first visitor of that page.

So I'm tempted to use a browser automation tool to crawl my site so every page is loaded up with adsense and Mediapartners is er - stimulated into crawling each page.

Anyone know if this'll make google mad at us?

Mark.

Do you really need to complicate your life? Many here have reported that a page just uploaded with Adsense gets targeted ads immediately (whether they are correctly targeting the page or not is a different story). Mediabot is now so much faster I dont see any need to create scripts just to force it to run in your pages.

We tried AdSense on our SERPs and got targetted ads a quarter of the time. The rest were public service. So I lose 10,000 potential targetted ad pages. Assume a quarter of those will be targetted, makes it 7500. Assume a clickthru rate of 1% with revenue of 20cents per click. That's 15 dollars. Not a disaster by any stretch of the imagination. But it's beer money. And beer money's important.

Ugh! Guess I'll have to forgo a few pints.

Also consider -- having PSAs is not necessarily a result of the failure of the Mediabot to crawl your pages. It could be something else, such as presence of stop words, no advertisers in that content category opting for content network, etc. So your proposed solution may not work at all if reasons other than slowness of mediabot is the reason for your PSAs.
